Linda Nathan Speaks with Teachers for Class War
On December 14th, Teachers for Class War interviewed Linda Nathan. She's the author of "The Hardest Questions Aren’t on the Test: Lessons from an Innovative Urban School," about her experience as founding headmaster of Boston's only public high school for the visual and performing arts, the Boston Arts Academy.
Nathan has worked on issues of school reform in Puerto Rico, Brazil, Argentina and Colombia, and teaches a course called "Building Democratic Schools" at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. But she has some Bay Area roots, too, having earned her bachelor’s degree at UC Berkeley in addition to a master's in education administration at Antioch University, a master's of performing arts at Emerson College, and her doctorate in education at Harvard University.
